Task 1: Build the Forum Organizing Team

Steps in Task 1

  1. Create the forum organizing team
  2. Develop the agenda

In Task 1, we first need to identify a group of people who will be in charge of planning and organizing the forum. While anyone who is interested in post-disaster recovery can volunteer to join the forum organizing team, we should consider identifying leaders who come from one or more of these groups: emergency management, planning department, business development department, private companies and chambers of commerce, environmental organizations, public and social works, and neighborhood/community associations.

The next step is to develop the general agenda and schedule for the forum. It is crucial to identify days and times that will work for most of the participants. The forum should be divided into two sessions because this helps the organizing team gather information and feedback from the first session and incorporate it in the second session; ideally, these sessions should be on different days, but that is not always logistically possible. The detailed agendas for the two sessions are also discussed in Task 4 and Task 6.
